How to prevent bronchitis?
Never smoke. Smokers are ten times more likely to die of COPD than non-smokers. Smokers who stop show improvement in lung function. For those who work in certain environments, use of respiratory protection devices such as respirators or filter masks can help prevent the disease. In some cases, it may be necessary for a person to find other employment. Good hygiene can reduce the spread of viral infection. Immunizations against influenza and pertussis can reduce the risk for bacterial bronchitis. Avoiding cigarettes, second-hand smoke, and heavy fumes can hasten recovery, because the lungs’ task of filtering pollutants is made easier. Immunizations against certain types of pneumonia (as well as influenza) are an important preventative measure for anyone with lung or immune system diseases. Many cases of acute bronchitis result from influenza. Getting a yearly flu shot can help protect people from both bronchitis and the flu. |
